"The pswrap translator provides a natural way for a developer or toolkit
implementor to compose a package of C-callable procedures that send PostScript
language code to the PostScript interpreter. These C-Callabel procedures are
known as wrapped procedures or wraps."

These wraps are PostScript code which has been given a C wrapper. You write
PostScript, run pswrap, and you can then call that PostScript code from C.
